Differences in whole blood gene expression associated with infection time-course and extent of fetal mortality in a reproductive model of type 2 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection
Download2016
Ladinig, Andrea, Stothard, Paul, Wilkinson, Jamie M., Kommadath, Arun, Plastow, Graham S., Harding, John C. S., Bao, Hua, Lunney, Joan K.
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) infection of pregnant females causes fetal death and increased piglet mortality, but there is substantial variation in the extent of reproductive pathology between individual dams. This study used RNA-sequencing to characterize the whole...

Distinct Roles of Class 1 PI3K Isoforms in the Regulation of Beta Cell Exocytosis and Insulin Secretion
DownloadFall 2014
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by peripheral insulin resistance and an insufficiency of insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta cell. The incidence of T2D is rising worldwide at an alarming rate. An increase in population growth, increased prevalence of obesity, and an aging population...

Docosahexaenoic Acid Induced Apoptosis In H9c2 Cells And Changed Cardiac Function After Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
DownloadSpring 2013
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. As such, a vast amount of research has investigated novel therapies for preventing and/or reducing CVD. Much evidence has demonstrated the importance of dietary composition in increasing or lowering risks of CVD....

Drug Resistance in Breast Cancer: Characterization of Rationally Designed Paclitaxel Analogs in Model Systems
DownloadFall 2013
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer related deaths among women in the developed world. Treatment options for breast cancer include taxanes, which mediate cytotoxic effects by inducing microtubule polymerization which impedes cell division. Taxane resistant breast cancer is a mounting...

Despite their small size and apparent simplicity, viruses are capable of causing mass casualties, political turmoil, and global economic shut down. Due to their minimal genome (~10–12 kb), arboviruses such as Zika (ZIKV), Dengue (DENV), and Mayaro (MAYV) depend on many host molecules for...

Heart transplantation (HTx) is a life-saving intervention for patients with end-stage heart failure. Nonetheless, the development of Chronic Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) limits the longevity of transplanted cardiac allografts and the survival of recipients. The pathogenesis of CAV begins with a...

Evaluation of Phosphatidylserine-Binding Peptides Radiolabeled with Fluorine 18 for in vivo Imaging of Apoptosis
DownloadSpring 2012
We currently do not have a clinical method to directly assess apoptosis induced by cancer therapies. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an attractive target for imaging apoptosis since it is on the exterior of the apoptotic cells and PS externalization is an early marker of apoptosis. PS-binding peptides...

Flaviviruses, such as West Nile virus (WNV), Powassan virus (POW), and Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV), are significant pathogens capable of causing serious neurological disease in both humans and animals. Despite their relevance to human health, treatment and vaccines for these viruses...

During infection, the host cell environment must be altered to accommodate viral replication. These alterations include hijacking cellular membranes as well as other components to form viral replication compartments and attenuating the host defenses to prevent virus detection and elimination....
